Sustainability

The College of Central Florida not only strives to be good stewards of the environment, but also personal health. Click the links above or at right to learn about the college's Tobacco Free policy and Tree Campus USA.

For the past nine years the Sustainability Task Force has been working to reduce CF's environmental footprint. The group of faculty, students, staff and administrators work to promote sustainability on campus and beyond. Recycling and increasing sustainability awareness education efforts continue at CF.

AASHE is helping to create a brighter future of opportunity for all by advancing sustainability in higher education. By creating a diverse community engaged in sharing ideas and promising practices, AASHE provides administrators, faculty, staff and students, as well as the business that serve them, with: thought leadership and essential knowledge resources; outstanding opportunities for professional development; and a unique framework for demonstrating the value and competitive edge created by sustainability initiatives

One of the most exciting new national developments in the sustainability movement is the recent creation of The SEED Center. The SEED Center (Sustainability Education & Economic Development) is a collaborative commitment and partnership among hundreds of community colleges aimed at promoting sustainability education, green economic development, and best green practices nationally. College of Central Florida is a charter member of this new AACC sponsored initiative. Please take the opportunity to visit the new SEED Center website where you will find a wealth of information on a large variety of sustainability topics. The website will also be the location for a number of informative webinars, all available free of charge. So check out the site (www.theseedcenter.org) and then stay tuned for more information concerning how we can utilize this valuable new tool here at CF.
